Spain, Slovenia, Ireland call to suspend EU-Israel treaty

 Spain, Slovenia, and Ireland have urged the European Union to consider suspending its association treaty with Israel, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares told reporters on Tuesday before a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg.

"Spain, along with Slovenia and Ireland, has requested that the suspension of the Association Agreement between the European Union and Israel be discussed and debated today," Albares said.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called on Sunday to break the agreement, accusing Israel of violating international law and therefore the terms of the deal. However, the total suspension of the association agreement requires "unified position" among the countries, accourding to EU Foreign Affairs chief Kaja Kallas.
